Patreon Plans - Rest of the Year | Next Year

Hello everyone! Firstly, I would like to say thank you for all of your support throughout this year, thank you for believing in me.

Now, for the plans. I'll be taking the commissions in my Kazoku Tier until December. I will be reworking my plans so I'll probably pause subscriptions at the start of next year. I tried a lot of different ways to balance both working on rewards and benefits along with the sustainability of my work, I learned a lot and so I wanna think about how I can really bring my own ideas, and make my Patreon a lot more "involved" if that makes any sense. 

So why am I going to stop commissions for a while? I've thought about this for a while, around September, but I didn't act on it because I wanted to make sure that it wasn't a temporary feeling due to having a lot of commissions (which does not mean that I don't enjoy it, but there's always that pressure of "work). I wanted to make sure that I could live up to expectations and make amazing work. Right now, I feel that I really haven't "established" myself, in a sense that I feel my works aren't as "recognizable". I guess by that I mean my style, which is a deeper topic than you would think.
I wanna develop my own process, my own touch, and figure out how I wanna do things, and what I want to create. Not necessarily "to stand out" but more of to know who I am as an artist, as cheesy as that sounds. It's important to be inspired by artists and stuff that you like, but you can also end up trying too hard to be like them, losing the essence of why you really want to do something in the first place.

With all this, does not mean that commissions and stuff "are getting in my way', or nothing like that, all of your support is exactly the reason why I feel like I can take the time to develop myself. You guys have given me the ability to reinvest into myself, and not worry so much that "my work will amount to nothing." Like how kids first copy their parents, then they grow and develop their own beliefs and environment, that's kind of how I feel right now.

I've thought about this a lot so I hope you guys don't mind the super long message! I wanted to make a video but I go on too many tangents speaking. Im really really grateful for everyone's support and I'll continue to work hard, improve and do my best!
